*SOLVED* Only brackets displayed, content (author and so on) is missing

I probably have a setting wrong, but I just can't figure it out....

If I use the same quote several times in a row, only the first one is displayed correctly.
For the following ones, only the brackets are set, but the content is missing.

Here is an example:

Word text (before scan by Bookends, the repititions are to demonstrate the problem):

So glauben 89 % von 500 befragten Führungskräften, dass Deutschland bei der Digitalisierung zurück liegt

{Ahrens, 2017, #131642}

{Ahrens, 2017, #131642}

{Ahrens, 2017, #131642}

{Ahrens, 2017, #131642}

{Ahrens, 2017, #131642}

{European Center for Digital Competitiveness, 2020, #282871}


Word-Text (after scan by Bookends):

Unsere Gesellschaft wird zunehmend digitaler und Hemmnisse bei der Digitalisierung wirken sich unmittelbar auf die Wirtschaft und das Verhältnis Bürger/Staat aus. So glauben 89 % von 500 befragten Führungskräften, dass Deutschland bei der Digitalisierung zurück liegt

Found it out by myself and writing it down in case somebody else has the same problem:

Under Biblio/Formats Manger/(and then in my case:) Harvard und "Citation Options" I chose "Build-in or Custum" --> "Custom". There under "subsequent (optional)" I entered the same Fields as in the above box ("Field Order (First occurance)").

Maybe there are better ways to solve the problem but for me it is fine now.

I suspect you had a space in the secondary field, so Bookends was outputting the space the second time the reference was cited.

If the secondary field is empty (no spaces, no nothing) Bookends will use the primary field to create the output. There's no need to duplicate it in the secondary field.
